Museum of Yugoslavia
About

Comprising three main buildings—the 25 May Museum, the Old Museum, and the House of Flowers—it houses over 75,000 artifacts that illuminate the region’s 20th-century history. The museum is also the final resting place of Josip Broz Tito, whose life and leadership are central to the narrative. Visitors can explore Tito’s personal belongings, diplomatic gifts, and the iconic Relay of Youth batons. Beyond its historical collections, the museum engages with contemporary themes through exhibitions that reflect on memory, identity, and the Yugoslav idea. A visit here is not only a step into the past but also an invitation to reflect on the complexities of shared heritage in the Balkans.
